Are your farm fields and farm office located in different places? Do you have multiple locations, but want to default your map to a specific one? We know that your business address might be different than the location of the land you farm, so you can easily update your farm map default location without changing your business address.
To get started with this, navigate to your Settings in the upper right. You'll immediately see your address fields at the top of the page. The default farm map location is generated in the mapped display below; it's indicated by the red pin you see on the map.
You'll have two options for this.
- You can retain the address information above, but click and drag the red pin to wherever your fields are located and where you want the map to default to when you access it.
- You can remove the Longitude and Latitude GPS points from below the map, and it will not default to any specific area. Instead, it will default to your current, real-world location. This is based on the GPS data for your device you are accessing Farmbrite from. This can be useful if you have fields across multiple locations and want to see the field where you are physically located when you open the Farmbrite app.
Be sure to click Save in the bottom right when you are done. Now when you access the Farm Map from the main menu, you'll be brought to the exact location of the pin!
In our example below, the office we work out of it slightly north of the fields we farm, so we zoom out on the map and move the pin to where we'd like the map to default to. See that when we access the map, it now defaults to that location.
